There isn't a langpack maintainer for Indonesian yet, if you think you can then go for it.

There is some helpful documentation on how to translate Puppy in the Menu > Help > HOWTO Internationalization (you can also read it online).

There is no need to make separate langpack PET packages for individual versions of Puppy Linux, language packs made through Momanager can translate all official versions of Puppy Linux and theirs derivatives as long as they were built from Woof2 version of 28 February 2012 or later, that is:

This is to help you a little bit with your langpack. I don't speak Indonesian, but I can find out which Puppy programs have translations for your language and where in the langpack PET they must be placed. So, I searched the web and put existing Indonesian translations into your langpack:

Unfortunately, all I could find in Indonesian is Abiword, Gnumeric and Leafpad, but these are some of the main programs of Puppy Linux. I also included the Hunspell dictionary for Indonesian, for spellchecking in Abiword, Gnumeric, Seamonkey and POedit. If you install the Extract-makePET utility then right-click the langpack and select "extract here", you will see where the Abiword locales and the Hunspell dictionary are, this is important because Momanager still doesn't include them in the langpack automatically. You can download the Extract-makePET utility here:

Seem like they are to be added to the langpack.
But if the pot files are made available, it will be better so I and other translators can add more translations.
And if any program exists in official Puppy, its po file should be listed in momanager, shouldn't it?

That was before Barry has made momanager
I doubt that it can produce complete po files.

Assume there are some not translated messsages
they are not in mo file
how should they be created?

Not possible without pot file

momanager dynamically creates pot files for shell scripts
creation for binary files is not that easy and seldom needed
If needed the pot file will be found as /usr/share/doc/nls/program/program.pot (examles: geany, retrovol)

Please let us use momanager when ever possible.
That is the only way to further test it and maybe also improve it.

You're right, I didn't read well gungsukma's message
Sorry I was just waking up

Gungsukma, L18L is right, all you have to do is put the .mo file at /usr/share/locale/id/LC_MESSAGES, and Momanager will detect it. If a .pot file is required, L18L has explained above what you can do to get it. _________________OB Precise 15.01 kernel 3.17.7|Puppy Linux en español

Yes You can search for needed pot file
find the source
download it
find the pot file
put it into your /usr/share/doc/nls/program/
.. and you can continue using momanager
check the
#, fuzzy
translations and delete the
#, fuzzy lines

pot file will become part of your langpack
(most of other languages will not need it because their po file is freely available)

No, not any. Just the pot files from internationalized shell scripts.
That's Puppy.
Have fun

@vicmz;
Good morning
I hope you find it useful how to launch a program in another language without having to change locale

Of course I can search the pot files for you (and thus for all other new translators)
and you will (just ) translate the scripts....

That would be very appreciated, I can avoid the risk of translating the wrong version of pot files if I search them myself.
Please leave a link (a forum thread link or a download link) here when you've done to let me know.
